The Passionate Young Lady

Doesn't my subject look like a National Geographic photographer?

Beach photography is generally very rewarding unless the sun is overhead. Folks over the beach usually create a world of their own where roaring waves, moist sea breeze and elusive mast of faraway vessels synergize unconditionally; yes, pretty dramatic! Thus, if you are a photographer or a photography enthusiast you can capture countless candid shots while loitering on the beach. The lady holding a camera in these photographs was a co-traveler whom I had met in Goa. Pardon me for being careless with my words, she was not just holding that DSLR to give me a pose. The passionate young lady was keen on capturing a puppy ignoring the scorching sun above her while I was resting under the cool shade of a fishing boat some fifty meters away. Obviously she had no clue of my covert shooting. The telephoto end of my camera lens could capture her but not her cute little subject which was hiding behind a tent. Recently we caught up via twitter and I was relieved to send her these photographs. Good thing is, she was happy! So, bottom line message is don't simply take those patches of sunburn in the name of sunbathing, rather travel around with your camera and oblige yourself with few cool clicks which will enrich your creative self, if you know what I mean. Happy clicking guys!

No man, she wasn't waiting for that bikini clad group. She was targeting a puppy playing hide & seek!

He has been blogging since 2007, and the pen often runs out of ink, but thankfully the mystic spirit of traveling-clicking-storytelling always reconquers Anunoy before it gets too late! In his early childhood, Anunoy’s craving for backpacking was sowed by his father. He has been a rolling stone ever since, forming passionate bonds with motorcycle touring and photography to add more layers to his wander lust. Between see-sawing a small family and a thankless job, Anunoy Samanta manages to run his own photography cum travel blog- Clicking Photos on the Go.
